A study of the principles and pharmacodynamics of chemicals in relationship to dose
and time. The course consists of lectures, discussions, and oral presentations of
original papers by the class and is oriented for both pharmacology and non-pharmacology
majors.

Techniques in Pharmacological Research (GTNP 5225)

Rotation through the laboratory of one of the department's faculty for 10 weeks. This
course is designed to give the student 'hands-on' research experience under the direct
guidance of a faculty member. The student is involved in the design, performing, and
analysis of actual experiments. The techniques learned and observations made form
the basis of the student's seminar presentation for the semester.

Medical Pharmacology (GTNP 5312)(Fall Semester)

A study of pharmacology with emphasis on mechanisms of drug action, drug interactions,
and therapeutics.

Integrated Neurosciences (GIDN 5910)(Fall Semester)

In-depth study of basic and clinical neurosciences, with emphasis on the preclinical
underpinnings of various neurological and psychiatric disorders. The course encompasses
a detailed instruction in neuroanatomy, which includes laboratory study.

Pharmacology of the Autonomic Nervous System (GTNP5326)

A Conceptual study of drugs which alter the function of the autonomic nervous system.
Emphasis will be on mechanisms by which drugs affect transmitter syntheses, release,
uptake, and metabolism as well as receptor function.

A structured in-depth study of specific topics concerning neurochemical pharmacology,
behavioral pharmacology, and neuropsychopharmacology. Topics to be studied vary each
semester. The course consists of lectures, discussions, and oral presentations of
original papers by the class.

Master Thesis (GTNP 6000)Master's research credits.

Research (GTNP 7000)

Independent research under a departmental faculty member.

Pharmacology Seminar (GTNP 7101)

Weekly seminars presented by students, faculty and outside speakers. Topics for student
seminars are data presentation or presentation of a scientific manuscript. The overall
goal of the course is to enhance student skills in scientific public speaking through
a series of seminars that are critiqued by the Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience
faculty. The course is designed such that students must interact by participating
in the question and answer component of all seminars as well as during lunch with
invited speakers.

Doctoral Dissertation (GTNP 8000)

Doctoral research credits.
